you go ahead and name me the other major (2m+ sales potential) ps4 first- or second-party exclusive in 2015. because there isn't one. bloodborne won't do those numbers and you know it, and this is from a souls fan. sony's holiday exclusive in 2014 was littlebigplanet 3 for goodness's sake. their first-party operation has some serious shaping up to do (and people say nintendo has first-party development cycle problems). driveclub was an f'n disaster. 1886 was supposed to be a launch game. it's coming a year and a half later, if they don't delay it once more (and it looks like it's going to bomb big time, driveclub-style).
as for microsoft's promotions, they did two different promotions in 2014, first with the free game in september (during destiny week) and then throughout the holidays. january is a pretty low sales month across the board. it makes no sense to take a loss when volume isn't going to help make up for it... so they are, indeed, strategically creating a price advantage at high-volume sales periods. i see them continuing to do this (perhaps for evolve and/or witcher 3) before a permanent drop of $50 to $100 this holiday and if sony remains unwilling to match them, it will erode the ps4's lead. sony should be wary of their own arrogance.

The Order will easily do +2M
Bloodborne might do it though it'll take time, probably not in 2015
Btw if you want to spread FUD you might want to be up to date instead of linking old stuff http://www.ign.com/videos/2014/12/06/the-order-1886-and-why-we-liked-the-new-demo-ign-conversation-psx-2014
PS4 selling more in 2015 than 2014 is a certainty, not a supposition.

dark souls 2 did ~2.5m on a combined install base (360+ps3) of ~165m. you, however, think bloodborne, without the name recognition of the souls series, will do 2m on an install base of 20-21m (by march)? yeah... i don't see that. especially since demon's souls, the last from software exclusive on a sony platform, did only 1.76, and that after years and years of steep discounts (it was a greatest hits). it did barely 500k worldwide its launch year. don't be silly.
also, we'll see about your 'certainty.' i mean, time's just going to keep on going, eventually the year will be over and we'll have the figure. i think it'll be closer to mine (33-35m) than yours (whatever that may be).
